Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a process that forms a ceramic oxide film on Mg alloy surfaces, effectively enhancing their corrosion performance in the short term. In this regard, optimizing PEO process parameters is crucial for creating a stable oxide layer. An improved level of corrosion resistance is ensured by applying superhydrophobic coating (SHC) on top of the PEO layer to prevent moisture infiltration, creating air pockets on the surface. Various methods are employed to fabricate SHC on Mg alloys, including techniques like electrophoretic deposition (EPD), Hydrothermal (HT), dip, and spray coating. The synergistic combination of PEO and SHC coatings has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in enhancing the corrosion performance of Mg alloys. This study offers an extensive overview of recent progress in the preparation, characterization, and corrosion behavior of Mg alloys by employing PEO coatings and SHC treatment processes.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the oxidative and adhesive wear mechanisms, MgZnCaY metallic glass (MG) films exhibit a reduced scratch depth, a lower friction coefficient, and better wear resistance than MgZnCaGd. The wear coefficients of MgZnCaGd and MgZnCaY are 1.45 ± 0.04 and 0.99 ± 0.068, respectively. MgZnCaY MG coating has a higher hardness (8.64 ± 0.01 GPa) and Young's modulus (144.67 ± 1.57 GPa) than MgZnCaGd MG coating (4.90 ± 1.86 GPa, 110.4 ± 23.2 GPa). The MgZnCaY composite-coated artificial ligament has 49.02 MPa and 18.54% elongation at break, compared to 49.86 MPa and 15.19% for the MgZnCaGd coating. The results of the mechanical test shows that the coated composite artificial ligament allows for greater fracture elongation and appropriate stiffness during the stretching process. Because of the formation of Y₂O₃, which can strengthen the interfacial bonding strength between the adhesive layer and the ligament matrix, increase the adherence of oxides, and reduce the likelihood of oxide delamination, artificial ligaments coated with MgZnGaY also perform exceptionally well mechanically. The current research findings provide new insights for the design of composite artificial ligaments and present promising materials for applications in the field of artificial ligaments.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systematic electrochemical measurements, especially intermittent discharge tests combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), demonstrate that SAL can enhance initial voltage stability of HP Mg anode. Moreover, the model incorporates the SAL-Mg complexation factor to describe the role of SAL in modifying the deposit film on HP Mg surface.

On the basis of XRD results, the stages of the microstructure evolution during heating were identified. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficients of the matrix and the Mg₂Ca secondary phase were determined. Between 299 and 400 K, the lattice constants of both the matrix and the Mg₂Ca phase increased due to thermal expansion. In the temperature range of 400-673 <span>K</span>, the increase of the lattice constants with increasing the temperature continued, but their rate was different for the two phases which can induce thermal stresses. Between 673 and 753 K, the lattice constants of the secondary phase did not change most probably due to the compensating effects of the thermal expansion and the decrease of the Ca content.

To investigate the impact of different LPSO phase contents and morphologies on the mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms of Mg-Y-Al alloys under room temperature deformation, this study prepared Mg-12Y-1Al (WA121) alloys containing Bulk-LPSO (B-LPSO), Lattice-LPSO (L-LPSO), and Needle-like LPSO (N-LPSO) with different contents through different heat-treatment processes. The results indicate that with the increase in heat treatment time, the contents of B-LPSO phases remain essentially unchanged, and the contents of L-LPSO and N-LPSO phases gradually increase. The increase in N-LPSO phase content is the most pronounced, with the highest content (7.29%) observed in the alloy treated for 4.5 h. Moreover, the alloy treated for 4.5 h exhibits the best mechanical properties, with ultimate tensile strength (UTS), tensile yield strength (TYS), and elongation (EL) values of 177 MPa, 139 MPa, and 4.27%, respectively. Compared to the as-cast alloy, UTS, TYS, and EL increased by 9.94%, 11.2%, and 27.1%, respectively. The study reveals that all three LPSO phases exhibit excellent dislocation hindering effects, effectively enhancing strength of the alloy. Additionally, the N-LPSO phase, due to its dense distribution, forms numerous dislocation channels within the grains, dispersing stress concentration within the grains to improve plasticity of the alloy. Furthermore, the interaction between the N-LPSO phase and the other phases in the alloy can also enhance plasticity of the alloy. Therefore, the alloy treated for 4.5 h demonstrates a synergistic improvement in strength and plasticity. Research has revealed that the precipitation mechanism of the N-LPSO phase in the as-cast WA121 alloy involves the formation of an Al-rich region adjacent to the needle-like Mg₂₄Y₅ phase. Subsequently, the Y element provided by the dissolving Mg₂₄Y₅ phase reacts with this region, ultimately leading to the formation of the needle-like LPSO phase.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As hierarchical porous MgO particles with large <em>S</em>_BET values are typically prepared by complicated procedures under harsh conditions, such as high temperatures and high pressures, their large-scale production is impractical. Consequently, the preparation of hierarchical porous MgO with a large <em>S</em>_BET value under mild conditions is highly desirable. In this study, a morphology transition engineering strategy is introduced to change the morphology of simple MgO microspheres to an embroidered ball-shaped with a larger <em>S</em>_BET value via hydrolysis and calcination without using surfactants as sacrificial templates. During hydrolysis, numerous Mg(OH)₂ sheets form and attach to the MgO surface, thus increasing the <em>S</em>_BET value of the newly obtained MgO that forms by calcination (denoted as NM-<em>x</em>, where <em>x</em> is the hydrolysis time in hours). The sizes of the crystalline sheets were tuned by controlling the hydrolysis time. NM-12 exhibited the highest density of small-sized sheets on its surface and the largest <em>S</em>_BET value of 180.17 m² g⁻¹, which was 3.51 times that of the MgO precursor (51.89 m² g⁻¹). However, NM-24 (134.07 m² g⁻¹) had a higher adsorption efficiency for Congo red (CR) than NM-12, despite having a smaller <em>S</em>_BET value, which indicates that other factors are involved. NM-24 exhibited a lower probability of exposed (200) and (220) facets which were verified to repulse CR molecules by molecular dynamics simulations, and a greater number of LCO sites, which contributed to adsorption. Thus, this study introduces a facile method for preparing hierarchical porous MgO and examines the effects of LCO sites and exposed facet probabilities on its adsorption properties.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
